Player Watch Fischer McAsey - Steps Away from Football, Not Returning

[RedmanWasHere]

As the link seems to be playing funny buggers, head on over to his Instagram page.

It's his most recent post.

His account is set to private which is probably why it's not working.

Good that it's private. Next step is delete.

I didn't even think of that.

BUMP!

Not sure if any of you Crows fans have seen this but it's worth a watch.

Just a video pertaining to his mental health and what he's been doing to maintain it.

Why, it tell us a lot of what the lad's been going through on personal level the last couple of years and goes a long way to explain his on field performances IMO. Good on him for putting it out there and I'm hopeful we might finally see him realise the potential he showed as junior. It certainly gives me more confidence that he's on the right track now.

Agree, hope that "cleansing" (although I haven't seen it) helps and he takes off.


The natural talent and Footy Smarts are there.

Instagram adds another significant layer to the modem day burden on mental health. Society would be much better off without it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I have friends on social media who have battled with mental health issues and they're constantly posting about how great they're going, how they've turned things around, inspirational quotes etc.

In some cases seeing them in person very soon after and they aren't as chipper as they've projected online. Seems like a bit of a facade. Who are they trying to convince?

Is it a mind over matter/ positive thinking strategy?

Just seems to be a temporary "up moment" that mirrors their bad moments. Hope he's ok

Pick 6 wasted

And in a year it might be looking a solid pick.

Hopefully he's gunning it up as a key forward. There is a bit to his game that'd mesh with Thilthorpe as a partnership and Fogarty is just a stopgap.

Bit to his game..


He's not an AFL level player.

 

[hey shorty]

Not a star in his 2nd season, what a dud.

Every kid, whether AFL player or not, had the same words used on them before it's decided.

And players have recovered from a tough 2nd year before, as much as the situation has become harder for Fish.

Not a star ? He's not even a water boy mate

 

[hey shorty]

Just stop

 

[triggyscrewedus]

Oh maaaan, cheer up...
Shouldn't your body guard Sanders have shown up by now ?

 

[ad victoriam]

If he gets his s**t together he will be a Star, He has a bit more football about him than Butts, who is a very good defender. If I remember correctly there were a few on here knocking Butts as well.
Just need to watch MacAsey's SANFL games and how he positions himself, where he runs to, to see how good he reads the game I liken him to Doedee in his early years a lot of supporters were righting him off as well

What ??

He's not a bodyguard of anyone, he just points out stupidity and you provide him with many examples.

One of my good mates dads coached Fisher as a junior for a few years, used to play VFL & is a hardcore crows supporter too. Maintains that Fisher is a gun and wasn’t sure what happened to him, either way he’s still very young and obviously some key talls take time to develop.

 

[spenze]

I'm just hoping he guns up in the SANFL for the first half of the season and then moves forward from there. The kid has a ton of talent but he isn't putting it together yet, the MH explanation makes sense, hopes he gets past it. Must be hard at 20 to be the next big thing, at least when I was that age, all I cared about was being a pork swordsman.

It's a temporary up moment for everyone. That's what it's designed for but it also has some terrible side effects that makes people constantly compare themselves to what they think is 'ideal'. That's how it *s people. Especially young people.

 

[SydCrow]

My concern with Fish is his seeming lack of competitiveness. Does he want the hard ball? Has he shown it in the SANFL?

He took an amazing handball and courageous mark in the F50 couple years ago at AFL level....

It was a marl that you can't coach because it was full of courage

My take of that is the courage and competitiveness is there in him as a player, what is not there is the fitness to enable that competiveness of a consistent contest by contest basis
